The Secret


I started reading The Secret book over the weekend.
Its been in my brother's room for years, I just never got around to picking it up although I've heard about it since last year.

What can I say..by just reading the first chapter, I feel so inspired and motivated. Engrossed in reading the book, you feel like you are sitting in a motivational seminar, except for the fact that you don't need to pay thousands of dollars to do so.




Law of attraction has existed all the while and I guess we all practise it without realising it. The only difference is in what aspect that we put it to practise. I guess majority practise it in attracting the negative, thus the reason why 90% of the world's wealth is in the hands of 5-10% of the population.

I'm so inspired to start thinking positive and be the positive person I was like in my uni days.
Even my ex-boss told me when we met for lunch few wks ago, that I shld think positive, when I was complaining to him how sucky my work life is now.

I'm also gonna start to watch The Secret movie once I get it...

Looking at my blog, I realise its so full of my rants and complaint..geez...I'm so thankful my friends were so patient in listening to me complain and complain for past years.

Time to change my thinking and my life...and pray that God rewards me with all the things I wish to happen quickly.

achievement for the year?

am feeling like such a loser.
was downstairs went my mum was showing my dad a family friend of theirs, whose daughter is now a rising fashion designer, appearing on the tv this morning. she's young, hot looking chick, and will probably have a bright and easy future.

it made me think..what have i achieved in my life this year?
being stuck here in malaysia, trapped at home and not having freedom to go out anywhere and as long as i want without having to give explanation...
trapped in a department and company that i just dont give a fuck anymore, being a victim of office politics...
each month earning less than what i need to pay my expenses..
til i have to live a life like a scrooge..

i was just cleaning my undies drawer and realised i havent bought new undies for years and the ones i have are all so old or torn or stretchy..and planning to go buy cheap undies coz i cant waste my money on La Senza or other expensive brands...it makes me feel so pathetic.

it sucks that to go holiday must wait for travel fairs and queue for hours to get cheap tickets or go online after midnite trying to book the free tickets by Air Asia...
i remembered having to queue for 12 hours at MAS travel fair in year 2005, just to get the cheap free and easy holiday package for my family and relatives...
why cant i live a life where, i can just call and book the ticket for a holiday next week? no need to book 3 or 6 mnths earlier just to save money?

how long do i have to live this kind of cheapo life?

Candlestick & Indicator Strategy course

I'm here at RHB center attending the final day of Candlestick & Indicator Strategy course organised by Chart Nexus & RHB Investment bank.
Suffering in the super cold auditorium..I just wish they could reduce the air-con temperature.
Apparently they can't control it?....what the %#^*!

But sitting here makes me realise, after a while...I know my main interest still lies in internet marketing.
Why?
Because I understand the lingo, and can talk the lingo..
and comparatively to many other Malaysians.. Internet Marketing is still very new and many are still skeptical on it..therefore I still can enjoy the first mover advantage.
But when it comes to share market..the old uncles and aunties are already involved in it for long time..
not only that..you need money to make money in stock market.
In Int Mktg, you dont need money to make money..

So I think I shall continue to focus more of my attention to Int Mktg..and only enter share market when I feel I have excess cash..
The things I learnt from this candlestick and indicator strategy course..well..at least I am in the 10% of the Msian investors who take the effort to go and learn technical analysis, rather than buying share based on news reviews and rumours like in the past.

Why work hard when you only get paid so little??

I cant help thinking after reading Jonathan Leger's email..despite all the hoo haas going on in the financial markets, threat of recession etc..his income had increased these past months although he was only working 1-2 hours.

It made me think, looking at the cleaner at my office and my house, who work hard from morning til evening, only to get paid peanuts.
The operators and technicians in my company..who work on platforms or in plants..endangering themselves daily being exposed to radicals / chemicals...yet the amount they earn in a year is less than a General Manager in my company earn in a month.

Its like..the harder u work..the less u get paid..so why choose work that require u to work so hard..??
Its not that I'm lazy... my friends in uni can vouch how much effort and hours I put in MUOSS though I wasnt paid at all..yet coz of the passion..I was willing to voluntarily do it..
But now, being in a company I dont give a damn about...only staying coz I'm obliged too..
So why should I put in so much effort? when I could be earning more from my online business

Secrets of Millionaire Mind by T Harv Eker

I spent my lunch hour today at Kinokuniya, grab a quick lunch at the cafĂ© upstairs before heading downstairs looking for Gobala’s new book – The New Millionaires.

Unfortunately, the copy available was wrapped in plastic and I wasn’t able to flip through it.

So I thought I shall check another copy on another day elsewhere.

Then I saw the Secrets of Millionaire Mind by T Harv Eker.
My dad bought the book many years ago, but I haven’t read it.
So I just took it and sat to read the first 2 chapters of it.

Indeed it was a worthy book to read..which I aim to continue reading when I get home.

My brain now feels so full of thoughts, plus with the fact that it’s a bit high from the flu medicine I ate this morning.

Its so true the things he said about the environment and culture and our upbringing that will influence our financial blueprint..
Its sad though..

But it also made me think, how would he read my financial blueprint?
What does it indicate if I’m the kind who likes everything to be free so I don’t have to spend my money on things other than what I am willing to spend on most, i.e. food & holiday?

Would that indicate that I’m destined to live a middle class life my whole life?
